RICHARD GABRIEL STONE, Ph.D.
An dedicating this year's Stage Coach to Dr. Stone, we wish to strike a symbolic note.
In this the first year of a new presidency, we stand between an old era and a new. We look back with
justifiable satisfaction on one hundred-odd years of Saint Mary's, and from an observation of the
wisdom, kindness, and vision with which Dr. Stone has administered his first year as president, we
look forward to the future as a source of even greater pride.
We Arrive . . .

RICHARD GABRIEL STONE, Ph.D.
President
Eliot Frost Stoughton, A.B., M.C.S.
St. Mary's remembers Mr. Stoughton with
lasting affection and a deep sense of loss.
The Rev. Mr. I. Harding Hughes, A.B., B.D.
There is ample proof that Mr. Hughes' in-
fluence extends far beyond the mere conduct-
ing of services in the fact that each girl views
him, not only with esteem and respect, but also
with warm friendship.

STUDENT
OFFI
Being president of Student Gov-
ernment is not only a constantly
demanding task, but often a difficult
and unpleasant one; yet Peggy, with
an innate dignity and an unflagging
effort to give the most in understand-
ing to every girl has fulfilled it
admirably.
The vice-president is very much
a public relations officer, and per-
haps the fact that "Liddy Bet" has the
gift of getting along with everybody
accounts for much of Student Gov-
ernment's success this year.
Betsy is as well known for her
subtle humor as for the able job that
she, as secretary, does to keep Student
Government running smoothly.

GOVERNMENT
ERS
It takes a good deal of coolness
under fire to contend with a year of
"late lights," "slept-through-break-
fasts," and town slips, but Mar'et
just opens up that Norfleet grin, ef-
ficiently sets matters right, and takes
it all in her stride.
What astonishes everyone is the
startling contrast between Woolie's
pixie personality and her dignified
capability as secretary of the Hall
Council.
Betsy-Tom handles Day Student
matters with a matter-of-fact ease
and an exuberant vitality which
quickly dispenses with any problem.
MARGARET GARY NORFLEET

HELEN WLILIGER BOYLE

BETSY-TOM LAWRENCE

THE HONOR COUNCIL
The Honor Council, the most respected, yet least encountered organization in school, is
the cornerstone of Student Government. Its job is the firm maintenance of basic principles
and standards of the school, and to its efficiency and good judgment is due much of what
Saint Mary's has come to stand for.
16
The most active and essential of the Student Government organizations, the Hall Council
directs the policies concerning dormitory life. By its capable enforcement of necessary regula-
tions and practical solutions of day-to-day problems, this group makes it possible to place the
maintenance of hall discipline almost entirely in the hands of the girls themselves.
THE HALL COUNCIL
17
THE LEGISLATIVE BODY
The Legislative Body, organized by the students, of the students, and for the students, is
Saint Mary's answer to the democratic ideal. Feeling that each girl deserves a voice in the
system that regulates her school life, this council receives and considers submitted petitions.
It is thus a plastic organ of adjustment to changing times and conditions.

THE SENIOR CLASS
The seniors . . . arrived early and welcomed in the new
girls ( with what they hoped was suitable dignity ) . . . took
over their offices with considerable pride and misgivings
I "Do you think everyone will laugh when I make my
speech?") . . . hall president-ed with stern (they hoped )
authority ( "One more word, and you get a slip!") . . . felt a
little desperate in their first Illiad and Aenead encounters
. . . swore that Jean's "Night before Christmas" was the
best senior Dance yet . . . gloated over presenting the first
May Day in several years ("Doesn't Sande look lovely?")
. . . thanked profusely for a perfect Junior-Senior . . . ap-
plied prayers and midnight oil to finals ( "Does anyone
know Milton's dates?") . . . and reached for their precious
diplomas through a blur of tears.

As high school seniors, the Sophomore Class struggled
through English and history, rejoiced in Saturday night
dates off-campus, and enjoyed hushed midnight parties and
lengthy discussions. They eagerly planned for the
Freshman-Sophomore and then for the all-important Com-
mencement, always anxiously looking toward the future

The Editors
Miss Jones is the guiding hand which
directs the over-all policy of the publications
and more intimately steers the "Bulletin";
Mrs. Wallace stands behind the "Belles" and
Stage Coach with ready solutions for their
unending difficulties.
Shepherding her staff with a firm and able
hand. "Fripp" functions like a small-sized
dynamo in the week-after-week job of get-
ting out the ''Belles.''
Martha has not only tackled with diplo-
macy (and when necessary, force) the job of
prodding the literary to productive efforts,
but has also manifested proof of her efficiency
and discernment in compiling and editing
an excellent "Bulletin."
By application of originality, competence,
and tenacity. Gene has weathered a year of
wrestling with budgets, pictures, and "Where
is your copy?" to produce, at last, the Stage
Coach.
O 10 i n g to Ann's
valiant efforts with
recalcitrant report-
ers, gross errors in
copy, the demands
of the printer, and
to Judy's efficient
supervision of her
circulation staff, the
"Belles" mi r ac u-
lously meets its
deadline and fur-
nishes news and en-
tertainment twice a
month.

A record of

eagerly awaited and
well - worn soon
after its arrival.
From behind
piles of photo-
graphs, stacks of
copy, and lists of
everything fro m
seniors to superla-
tives, the Stage
Coach staff, with
the vigorous aid of
Adelaide and her
advertising s t aff,
labors to assemble
in the yearbook a
record of the life

HEARTS 'N ;
Delight over an additional dance . . . Gene's struggle with decorations . . . dif-
ficulties as the newspaper walls tear at every touch . . . the Parlor and hall
overflowing with expectant dates . . . flutter of excitement as flowers begin to
arrive . . . strains of music from the gym hasten last minute touches . . . "Well,
hey, who'd you come with?" . . . "Has anybody seen my stag? I think he's lost!"
. . . mad rush for cokes at intermission . . . the leadout . . , AND the climax, the
ceiling crashing down not once but twice (who dun it?) ... the last strains of
"Goodnight Sweetheart."

"Where did I put my bids?" . . . "May I borrow your gold earrings?" . . . "break-
ing-est dance that we've had" . . . Dr. Stone in tails . . . Senior officers leading
out . . . Amazement as the card dances work smoothly for the first time in recorded
history . . . "No, Bill. You see, you're supposed to stand under your name" , . .

you in a minute" for the fortunate.
